Romeo
Jungle Bas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
City crime infested
Ten years so divine my blessings
I injected hope into my lungs
And spoke up things I once
Thought were silly dreams
I'll walk you through the scene
Jump on a jet and it's chartered a star
I don't even like her
She deaded I cannot be bothered to call
Hope you see the light, darling
Oh yes, running like four legs
Them people fall
They don't want no run-ins like bow legs no
Jumped out the circus like Soleil curving
My people got me, copy, solid, sterling
Steel resolve
Look at you
You like a cube of sugar in a pool of water
Bet you will dissolve
Had so much to prove
But no wherewithal so you got
Nowhere at all no way out
Either way it's all gon' play out
It's all gon' play out
I never seen this type of glow
Look at the seed I planted grow
I think they need to add a fee
We don't wanna be the status quo
Plot twist, the pot twist
Let's talk about some progress and objectives
If you talking 'bout less then I'm
Came a long way, I'm a project
Baby, this a Rollie not a Timex
She climb me like an ibex and top me
I came a long way
2010 they tried to end me, glad to see them bullets off
(We still here, you missed, you bitch)
2020 Grammy nominated bet we going off
Admittedly, I know that don't make me but it make the rest of you fonder
Keep 'em all arms length like a boy bassy E Honda
Or Dhalsim, I'm flossin', I'm drippin', two commas
Trying to find the real nothing in my viewfinder
Here you find 'em
Steel resolve
Look at you
You like a cube of sugar in a pool of water
Bet you will dissolve
Had so much to prove
But no wherewithal so you got
Nowhere at all no way out
Either way it's all gon' play out
It's all gon' play out
But no wherewithal so you got
Nowhere at all no way out
Either way it's all gon' play out
It's all gon' play out
Jungle's "Romeo" is a profound memoir about his journey through life, characterized by resilience in the face of adversity. The song's intro sets a tone of ambition and determination with the lines "Never lose, steady climb, City crime infested," highlighting the challenges of urban living. Jungle then reminisces on his past ten years, seeing it all as divine blessing. He talks about injecting hope into his lungs and speaking up what he once thought were silly dreams. In the chorus, Jungle paints a picture of progress and determination, with lyrics like "Jump on a jet and it's chartered a star, I'm batting the cycle." Romeo is about determination, resilience and overcoming obstacles despite one's circumstances.
In the second verse, the lyrics describe the transformation that has taken place within Jungle's life. "I never seen this type of glow, Look at the seed I planted grow," he declares as he acknowledges personal progress. Additionally, he speaks to the concept of being unique and not conforming to the status quo with "We don't wanna be the status quo." The song further references the changes that have come over Jungle's life as he notes that he is grateful to have survived a shooting in 2010, and now in 2020, is a Grammy-nominated artist.
The song's bridge and chorus repeat affirmations of self-belief and the notion that we cannot always control how our story ends. This is evidenced by lyrics such as "Either way it's all gon' play out, It's all gon' play out," showing that despite obstacles, Jungle has held onto his steel resolve and will not quit until he reaches the finish line.

(We still here, you missed, you bitch)

Keep 'em all arms length like a boy bassy E Honda
Keep everyone at a distance like a video game character's special move
Or Dhalsim, I'm flossin', I'm drippin', two commas
Like another video game character, I am wealthy and showing off my success
Trying to find the real nothing in my viewfinder
I am searching for the truth or something genuine, but cannot seem to find it
But no wherewithal so you got nowhere at all, no way out
You had high hopes, but without the necessary resources or abilities, you have nowhere to go
Either way it's all gon' play out, it's all gon' play out
Regardless of what happens, the outcome will be the same
But no wherewithal so you got nowhere at all, no way out
Without the necessary resources or abilities, you have nowhere to go
Either way it's all gon' play out, it's all gon' play out
Regardless of what happens, the outcome will be the same

Death, it's one of the biggest events that will ever take place in your life. We face death everyday, conscious or unconsciously of it; death lurks around every corner of our life. Like a lion waiting to catch its prey, death comes for us all in many shapes and forms; seemingly there is no one who can escape from the jaws of death.
But did you know there is a reason why we die? The idea of death you're familiar with is only the tip of the iceberg. See we die because we've sinned against God. Death according to the bible is wages " for the wages of sin is death " (Romans 6:23).
Because man sinned against God, we live in a fallen world, it was once perfect, but now in ruins. Now that sin exists, God is coming to judge the world In righteousness. "It's appointed a man once to die and after this judgement" (Hebrews 9:27) The standard he'll judge you by is the 10 commandments, God's moral law.
He's so serious about sin that he gives anyone who sins the death sentence, the bible says you've earned it through sinning against God and God pays you in death. Each time you sin you build up his wrath. “The soul who sins shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4) The punishment is the eternal fires of Hell " Where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 13:42)
You will have to face God on Judgement Day.
Will you go to Heaven or Hell?
Here’s a quick test:
1.You shall have no other gods before Me. (Have you always loved God above all else?)
2.You shall not make yourself an idol. (Have you made a god in your mind that you're more comfortable with, a god to suit yourself?)
3.You shall not take God's name in vain. (Have you ever used God's holy Name as a cuss word?)
4.Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
5.Honor your father and mother.
6. You shall not murder. (God considers hatred to be as murder, 1 John 3:15).
7. You shall not commit adultery. ("Whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart" Matthew 5:27-28; this also includes sex before marriage).
8. You shall not steal. (Have you ever stolen anything? the value of the item is irrelevant).
9. You shall not lie. (Have you lied even once? Including answering these questions).
10. You shall not covet. (Have you ever jealousy desired what belongs to others?)
James 2:10 says, “the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.”
The Bible says that God will punish all murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, adulterers, etc. He will even judge our words and thoughts.
If you have done any of those things, God sees you as guilty of breaking His law and the Bible warns that the guilty will end up in Hell. Will YOU be guilty on Judgement Day?
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
God sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross. Jesus took the punishment upon Himself and defeated death on the cross; not because you're Good but because God is rich in mercy.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. Repent (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus and God will grant you everlasting life.
Then, Read the Bible and obey what you read.
Pray something like this:
"Dear God, today I turn away from all of my sins (name them). Today I put my trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He is the only way for me to be saved. He is 'The way, the truth, and the life.'" Please forgive me, change my heart, and grant me Your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
